So Many DACs - So Little Time

The biggest bang for you buck in my opinion is the Dac Magic. But then that is the only one that I've heard from your list. I agree though with you on the so many DACs so little time. I want to hear them all too. You might want to consider adding the MHDT Paradisea or Havana to your list. They are pretty nice sounding for the price as well.

Have heard all the DACs except the Cary. I would strongly suggest the Wyred4sound DAC.
As good as the Perfectwave or better with superior parts quality.

The Wyred4sound looks interesting. How would the Older
Theta Gen Va dac stack up against these New Dac??

just to confuse things...if you can stretch just a little i would highly recommend the berkeley alpha dac. solved all my digital wants.

Looks like the Bryston Dac may be the one so far.
